Time-Stoploss with Startegy Builder

[Harvard]

Dear Ninjatrader Team,

is it possible to build a time-stoploss (e.g. close position after 5 days) with the strategy builder?

Best regards,
Harvard

Hello Harvard,

Thank you for your note.

This would be possible if you were running your strategy on a daily series. You could then check if bars since entry was greater than 5 bars ago, and if so, exit the position. I provided 2 screen shots of how you would set this up.

If you were running this on an intra day series, say 5 minute, BarsSinceEntry would refer to 5 minute bars. Theoretically you could calculate how many 5 minute bars are in a daily bar, and multiple that by 5 to come up with how many bars you should enter for BarsSinceEntry.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
